The Fruits of Labour- 8th May 1990

THE FRUITS OF LABOUR are just that, and when we are rewarded with the fruit granted to us when the due season arrives, can we say that because we tended the tree the fruit was of our own making?

Verily, should we neglect the water and the pruning, should we pluck the produce before fruition, may we protest at the harshness of nature herself to not have fulfilled the promise?

Simply speaking this attitude is rife amongst those who would sit and wait for the fruit to drop into their mouths, acknowledging not the working processes of the world and its ways.

One may never attribute blame, but seek the causes of the situation.
